Hillside path The path just cuts the corner of this square, and above here the grass slopes of Mynydd Bwllfa lead to crags, which are in the square but not visible.

This impressive hotel is perfectly situated in the heart of Cardiff, and very easy to find. No parking available although there are 2 NCP car parks within a couple of minutes’ walk. Very clean throughout with excellent amenities and very polite and helpful staff. I’d happily book here again.
